So when looking in your mirrors you will see more movement side to side than with a typical king pin std hitch.. Its the nature of the beast. As for you wrinkles I have a few on my unit, both inside and out. I believe they are normal movement of the material as they expand and contract due to temperature and movement. Our units are designed to flex to some extent.
Hope this helps

Yes and yes. If I lift the landing gear to re-seat the ball, the truck will move with or without emergency brake on - happens every time I unhitch or hitch at any site. Sometimes the truck will move forward, sometimes back. This happens in normal driving with nothing in tow every time I park. For instance backing into garage I have very little room due to the length so I try to get the truck an inch away from the wall in the back. Sometimes it will move forward and sometimes back when I put it in park and take foot off the brake and that is with the E-brake on and relatively level garage floor. Every time I put it in park, DW has to tell me - nope pull forward or back an inch as the ball isn't centered any longer to drop the coach.Joseph

x2 on Jlawles2 Joseph's comment. If your truck is moving with the emergency (E) brake applied, that is something that needs to be serviced. The small movement after putting the truck in Park and releasing the main brake pedal is normal.
